Air conditioning controls
94
(a) Controls and functions
The temperature control lever is used to
adjust the temperature of the delivered
air.
Move the lever toward the HIGH position
for higher temperature and toward the
LOW position for lower temperature.
The air intake control lever is used to se-
lect intake air, either outside air or recircu-
lated air.
With the lever in the OUTSIDE AIR posi-
tion, the system will take fresh outside air-
into the unit. For recirculated air, move the
lever to the RECIRCULATED AIR posi-
tion.
The air flow control lever is used to select
the air flow outlets air is delivered from.
See “(f) Air flow selection” for detailed in-
formation.
The fan speed control lever is used to turn
on and off the fan and select the fan
speed.
The higher the fan speed setting is, the
more air is delivered. Moving the lever to
the “OFF” position turns off the fan.
The air conditioning on-off button is used
to turn on and off the air conditioning.
With the button pressed in, the air condi-
tioning turns on. Pressing the button once
again will turn the air conditioning off.

If the indicator light flashes, contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible. There
may be a slippage of the drive belt or
trouble in the compressor. If this happens,
the air conditioning is automatically turned
off to avoid damage to the drive belt.
(b)Heating
1. Place the temperature control lever
anywhere except the LOW position.
When dehumidified heating is desired,
place the lever between the HIGH and
middle positions.
If cooler air is desired at face level for bi-
level operation, place the lever around the
middle.
2. Move the air intake control lever to the
OUTSIDE AIR position.
If quick circulation of heated air is desired,
move the lever to the RECIRCULATED
AIR position.
For normal use, it is best to keep the lever
in the OUTSIDE AIR position. Otherwise
the windows will fog up more easily.
3. Move the air flow control lever to the
FLOOR position.
If cooler air is desired at face level for bi-
level operation, place the lever to the BI-
LEVEL position.
If the windshield fogs up easily, move the
lever to the FLOOR/WINDSHIELD posi-
tion.
For detailed information on air flow control
including other settings, see “(f) Air flow
selection”.
4. Move fan speed control lever any-
where except the “OFF” position.
5. Leave the air conditioning on-off but-
ton in the ”OFF” position.
If dehumidifed heating is desired, press in
the air conditioning on-off button.
(c) Cooling
1. Place the temperature control lever
anywhere between the middle and LOW
positions.
If warmer air is desired at floor level for bi-
level operation, place the lever around the
middle.
2. Move the air intake control lever to the
OUTSIDE AIR position.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired,
move the lever to the RECIRCULATED
AIR position.
For normal use, it is best to keep the lever
in the OUTSIDE AIR position.
3. Move the air flow control lever to the
FACE position.
If warmer air is desired at floor level for bi-
level operation, place the lever to the BI-
LEVEL position.
For detailed information on air flow control
including other settings, see “(f) Air flow
selection”.
4. Move the fan speed control lever any-
where except the “OFF” position.
5. Press in the air conditioning on-off but-
ton.
(d)Ventilation
1. Place the temperature control lever at
the LOW position.
2. Move the air intake control lever to the
OUTSIDE AIR position.
3. Move the air flow control lever to the
FACE position.
For detailed information on air flow control
including other settings, see “(f) Air flow
selection”.
4. Move the fan speed control lever any-
where except the “OFF” position.
5. Leave the air conditioning on-off but-
ton in the “OFF” position.

(e) Windshield defogging and defrost-
ing
To remove interior fog on the windshield:
1. Place the temperature control lever at
any position.
2. Move the air intake control lever to the
OUTSIDE AIR position.
3. Move the air flow control lever to the
WINDSHIELD position.
For detailed information on air flow con-
trol, see “(f) Air flow selection”.
4. Move fan speed control lever any-
where except the “OFF” position.
5. Press in the air conditioning on-off but-
ton.
To remove frost or exterior fog on the
windshield:
1. Place the temperature control lever at
the HIGH position.
2. Move the air intake control lever to the
OUTSIDE AIR position.
3. Move the air flow control lever to the
WINDSHIELD position.
For detailed information on air flow con-
trol, see “(f) Air flow selection”.
4. Move fan speed control lever to the
“HI” position.
5. Leave the air conditioning on-off but-
ton in the OFF position.
(f) Air flow selection
FACE position—This position directs the
air flow to face level.
BI-LEVEL—This position directs the air
flow to face level and floor. Except in ven-
tilation, the air to the floor is slightly warm-
er than that to the face level.
FLOOR position—This position directs
the air flow mostly to the floor.
FLOOR / WINDSHIELD position — This
position directs the air flow to the wind-
shield and front side windows as well as
the floor.
WINDSHIELD position—This position di-
rects the air flow mostly to the windshield,
front side windows.
Do not use the WINDSHIELD position
during cooling operation in extremely hu-
mid weather. The difference between the
temperature of the outside air and that of
the windshield could cause the outer sur-
face of the windshield to fog up blocking
your vision.
(g)Operating tips
Be sure the air inlet grilles in front of the
windshield are not blocked by leaves
or other obstructions.
If air flow control is not satisfactory,
check the side vents. (See “Side
vents” after “Heater controls”.)
To help cool down the interior after
parking in the hot sun, drive for the first
few minutes with the windows open.
After the excess heat has blown away,
close the windows.
When driving on dusty roads, close all
windows. If dust thrown up by the ve-
hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recom-
mended that the air intake control le-
ver be set to the OUTSIDE AIR posi-
tion and the fan speed control lever
anywhere except the “OFF” position.
If following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty con-
ditions, it is recommened that the air
intake control lever be temporarily set
to the RECIRCULATED AIR position,
which will close off the outside pas-
sage and prevent outside air and dust
from entering the vehicle interior.
